Chocolate Fondue ..getting addicted

There is nothing more decadent than like a bowl of melted chocolate surrounded by cookies, fruits and marshmallows to keep children happy. But this dish is not only for kids, you can also dip your favourite fruit into a rich and decadent adult-only chocolate fondue.

The story…

Chocolate Fondue was born in New York in a restaurant called “Chalet Suisse” in 1948. Its owner was a Swiss-born gentleman named Konrad Egli, or (to his friends and frequent guests) just Konni. From the start Chalet was known as a place that honored the culinary traditions suggested by its name: steady, reliable Swiss regional food, carefully handled, with nothing but the best ingredients involved in the process. A Swiss-based chocolate company was looking to launch in the USA an interesting new product just then arriving in the USA from Switzerland — a strange looking chocolate-and-nougat bar that could be broken into individual pieces, each shaped like a little stylized mountain. The stuff was called Toblerone. Konni hit on the idea of using the new product in something equally new and interesting: a sweet fondue. Chalet Suisse is long gone now, nonetheless, the chocolate fondue he cooked up — literally — survives him all over the world. It’s even made its way back to Switzerland… which probably amused him no end.
